Pass Plus - Module 6 - Motorways
|
As a new driver, you may never have driven on a motorway. They are unlike
any other road, not just because of the number of lanes, the high traffic
volumes and vehicle speeds, but also because there are rules and signs that
only relate to motorways. Pass Plus will give you invaluable training and
experience in driving on motorways.
If there's no motorway nearby, this session will have to be covered in theory
(while you can gain some helpful experience on dual carriageways, this won't
cover aspects specific to motorways).
In this case, you should plan to drive on a motorway as soon as possible after
the course, so you can put the knowledge into practice. As with any theory
session, it would need to be completed to an achieved standard.
